FanX 2014 Day 1 Press Conference

Governor Gary Herbert declared April 17, 2014 to be Comic Con Heroes Day in Utah. With a backdrop that included invited celebrities and members of the military, police officers and firefighters, Herbert made the declaration with an official certificate. “[Salt Lake Comic Con] was epic in its proportions,” says Herbert at the opening press conference. Both the governor and Salt Lake Comic Con Founder Dan Farr encouraged people to be everyday heroes. FanX features stars as diverse as Barbie Blank, Micky Dolenz, Charles Fleischer and Aaron Douglas. “I love coming to the cons,” says Douglas. “I don’t do anything I don’t want to do.” In an interview with Charles Fleischer at the press conference, he said that he had a Roger Rabbit costume made that he wore every day on set even though he was voice acting. He met someone who said that the movie wasn’t going to be very good because that person had seen the rabbit, and it didn’t even look like a rabbit. Fleischer is on Facebook and Twitter and creates art. FanX is scheduled to run through April 19, 2014, and it was just announced that Patrick Stewart will be on site on Saturday.
